Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 263
Chapter 260 Three

"Hahaha, I, Sun Jian, have never been afraid of anyone in the world. If you want to die, just come and try. I have already killed Wang Rui and Zhang Zi, and I don't care if you are more." Sun Jian vaguely felt strange when questioning the princes, but the word timid never existed in Sun Jian's dictionary. Regardless of whether today's incident was tricked by others, Sun Jian felt that the scene in front of him could not be pretended. Otherwise, how will you mess around in the future.

"Hehehe, what are you adults doing? The vassals and the generals of my family have made a blood alliance to help the Han Dynasty. Why are swords at war here? Do you want to make His Majesty who is far away in Luoyang sad again? Your Majesty endured humiliation and entrusted Lord Cao Cao to bring out the secret decree, and now His Majesty is looking forward to the princes in Luoyang, and he is already hopeless, do you have to waste your energy here?" Seeing that I don't show up again, I am afraid that these princes will cause trouble , Wei Zhongdao hurriedly chuckled, and led a group of soldiers to separate the two groups of people before he said.

"We didn't want to go to war in such a way, but Sun Jian was lawless, arrogant, and good at killing ministers. I couldn't bear it, so I made such a bad plan." Kong Ni didn't really want to fight Sun Jian to the death, but Sun Jian Even Kong Ni himself felt that his life was not guaranteed, so he led his troops here, and he must make it clear to Sun Jian, otherwise, he might accidentally offend Sun Jian that day. At that time, would they have to be slaughtered like Wang Rui and Zhang Zi?And the other three princes also had the same thought in the passbook, they must be dead Wang Rui and Zhang Zi, it doesn't matter if they take revenge or not, but they themselves need an explanation.

"Uh, my position is low, so I'm naturally not qualified to participate in such a big event. It's just that this matter is of great importance. I implore you all to go back to the base camp first. Everything will be decided after the general returns to my house. I don't know what you think?" Wei Zhongdao naturally disagreed. He will be arrogant and think that he can solve the matter, but he is trying to persuade him.Wei Zhongdao understands that neither side intends to start a fight, but neither of them is willing to give in. At this time, a step is needed, and Wei Zhongdao has left this step to the princes.

"After the general comes back to deal with it, naturally there will be no problem. If there is nothing else, then the prefect will not accompany him." Sun Jian looked at the several princes who were eyeing him, and the army of Runan behind Wei Zhongdao.Then he walked towards Wei Zhongdao: "Wei Zhongdao, I hope you didn't play tricks this time." After speaking, Sun Jian waved his hand and led his men back to the camp.

"Then let's go back too. It's just that we need to strengthen our defenses after we go back. This Sun Jian is a mad dog." Seeing Sun Jian leading his troops away, Kong Ni and other princes did not dare to step forward to stop them, so they had to let Sun Jian lead them. The soldiers left, and Kong Ni didn't speak to the other princes until Sun Jian left.

"My lord, Sun Jian has no law. He not only killed my lord, but also wants to annex our soldiers. Your lord must make the decision for us and avenge my lord." Seeing that Wei Zhongdao's words were quite shocking, Cai Mao first reflected Come here, bow to Wei Zhongdao and say.

"Hey, you have seen what happened just now. This Sun Jian is strong and not something ordinary princes can compete with. Not to mention me, even my rear general is in a difficult situation." Wei Zhongdao looked at Cai Mao in front of him, showing Said with a look of embarrassment.

"If my lord does not give up, I am willing to join the general and contribute to the general, so that I can avenge my Lord Inspector in the future." While speaking, dozens of people suddenly walked out of the Jingzhou army and bowed to Wei Zhongdao. But it was Wang Rui's confidant in the Jingzhou army.

"I am also willing to join the general's command and contribute to the general's battle." Seeing this scene, Cai Mao bowed down and said.Following Cai Mao's prostration, all the Jingzhou soldiers prostrated themselves.

Unlike Sun Jian who returned to Sun Jian, Sun Jian killed Wang Rui after all and had a feud with these soldiers and horses, so Jingzhou soldiers still had some resistance to returning to Sun Jian, but Yuan Shu was different. His status was even higher than Wang Rui's. Although the former lord died, they found a better home after being able to follow Yuan Shu. Of course, these soldiers were happy in their hearts.

"So, you are a member of our army from now on, and you will officially become the Runan Army from now on." Seeing these soldiers like this, Wei Zhongdao finally agreed to join these soldiers.

After recruiting the soldiers from Jingzhou, it is no longer a matter of recruiting the soldiers from Nanyang. The number of soldiers from Nanyang must have been small. Although they were at odds with Yuan Shu, now Sun Jian killed Zhang Zi, the prefect of Nanyang. They had no one to rely on and surrendered. Yuan Shu was not in any trouble.Once Zhang Zi died, Nanyang would soon fall into Yuan Shu's hands.

Since then, Yuan Shu's strength has greatly increased and he has become the most powerful figure in the alliance of princes.

Not long after Yuan Shu returned to the camp, Sun Jian, Kong Ni, Qiao Mao and Yuan Yi were all summoned to discuss the conflict between the generals.

"Sun Jian, first tell me why you killed Jingzhou Inspector Wang Rui and Nanyang Prefect Zhang Zi." Yuan Shu sat on the main seat, looked at Sun Jian beside him and said.

"Wang Rui, governor of Jingzhou, and I have always been at odds with each other. The rift is deep. This time, he joined forces with Nanyang prefect Zhang Zi, intending to harm me. After I found out, he wanted to disturb the public and slander me. That's why I killed the two of you. Eliminate disasters for our army." After being besieged by Kong Ni and others, Sun Jian discussed with the generals as soon as he arrived in the camp. Wang Rui and Zhang Zi were all responsible for the incident. Anyway, there was no symptom of death. In addition, Yuan Shu had conspired with Sun Jian. Sun Jian believed that as long as he did not admit it, the matter would be settled.

"That's true? I thought the two were loyal, so I sent envoys to recruit these two, and listened to them before the army, but I didn't expect to bring trouble to Xiao Qiang, but almost killed Sun Taishou." No one thought that Yuan Shu would say, It is a word of protection for Sun Jian.Everyone was dumbfounded for a moment.

"This? How can the later general listen to one side's words? Could it be that Sun Jian's bloodthirsty murder of ministers is still a reasonable thing?" Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun County, looked at Yuan Shu in disbelief and said.

How did Qiao Mao know that Yuan Shu and Sun Jian had conspired in this matter, and in the end Yuan Shu annexed Jingzhou soldiers and Nanyang soldiers. At this time, Yuan Shu got a benefit and naturally wanted to speak for Sun Jian, otherwise Sun Jian would not reveal the whole thing. No wonder.

"Prefect Qiao Mao, don't talk too much. We are dead brothers who have drank blood wine. Naturally, we have to help each other. Now that our army has enough food and grass, if it's time for a showdown with Wancheng, let's join together Listen to the battle plan of my military advisor Wei Zhongdao." Yuan Shu didn't want to say anything more about this matter, he must have lured the princes to besiege Sun Jian, just because he was afraid that Sun Jian would not be able to lose after annexing the Jingzhou soldiers. Everything is in place, Yuan Shu felt that it was time to consider a big battle.

"According to reliable news, Lu Bu has already appeared in Chenliu, which means that our army will not encounter Lu Bu when attacking Wancheng. Now it is Hu Zhen's [-] soldiers and horses in Wancheng. This is very important for our army. It is a rare opportunity." Seeing Yuan Shu let him speak, Wei Zhongdao followed Yuan Shu's words.

"Our army needs a vanguard officer now. I don't know who is willing to go to Wancheng to win the first service for our army?" Yuan Shu asked the princes in front of him.

"I don't have talent with one step, I would like to be the vanguard and open the gate of Wancheng for my army." Sun Jian stepped forward, glanced at the princes, and said coldly.

"Hehe, Sun Wentai is indeed a strong general in our army, and this time I have to thank Sun Wentai." Seeing Sun Jian's attack, Yuan Shu naturally had nothing to disagree with, and said immediately.

"Report, the imperial envoy has arrived." At this moment, a soldier rushed in from outside to report.

"What? An imperial envoy? Where did the imperial envoy come from?" When the princes heard this, they couldn't help but become suspicious.

"Hehe, we have already started a war with Dong Zhuo. Isn't it funny why Dong Zhuo sent an envoy here?" Yuzhou Governor Kong Ni said with a strange expression.

"Let them come in, we might as well listen to what Dong Zhuo has to say." Although Yuan Shu was a little surprised, but now that his strength had increased so much, he naturally didn't care, so he let the envoy come in to speak.

"Hello, my lords, I have seen you all." This emissary was a eunuch delivering the decree, and when he saw a group of princes, his legs and feet were also weak from fright, but he reluctantly greeted them all.

"Why did Dong Zhuo send you here when he was about to die? What nonsense do you want to say?" Seeing the obedient look of the eunuch, Yuan Shu asked.

"This? May I ask who is the prefect of Changsha, Sun Wentai, General Sun?" The eunuch did not answer Yuan Shu's question, but asked suddenly after looking around the tent.

"A certain family? Could it be that Dong Zhuo has already washed his neck and waited for a certain family to cut it?" Sun Jian was puzzled when he heard that the eunuch was looking for him, but he immediately laughed.

"Congratulations, general, congratulations, general. Your Majesty has promoted the general to be the governor of Yuzhou. This is the imperial decree and seal. Please keep it well." The eunuch did not actually deliver the decree, but brought a copy of the imperial decree and seal to Sun Jian and said. .Although the voice of this speech was not loud, it was obvious that every prince in the hall had heard it very clearly.

Immediately, the atmosphere in the hall became weird. Although everyone knew that the imperial decree was Dong Zhuo's intention, it must be in the name of the emperor. At this time, the emperor's signboard, everyone still had to admit it.But if you admit it.So what about Kong Ni, the governor of Yuzhou here?There is only one Yuzhou in the world, can there be two governors?Looking at Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's expressions at this time also became strange.This Yuzhou is the foundation of Yuan Shu. Although Yuan Shu is not the governor of Yuzhou in name, he controls a lot of territory in Yuzhou. Now that Sun Jian is the governor of Yuzhou, he wants to compete with Yuan Shao.Faced with the temptation of the governor of Yuzhou, would Sun Jian really be able to let go?
